The Green family behind Hobby Lobby is one of He Gets Us biggest supporters.
(Dissenter) Last night, the “He Gets Us” campaign—a marketing ploy headed up by Ed Stetzer that rebrands Jesus—displayed a sign at the Angels game proclaiming, “Jesus Included Everyone.” This silly slogan, which is designed to subtly implant the idea that Jesus was “tolerant” of sin and didn’t require repentance in order to fellowship with Him, reaks of the heresy of universalism.

“I come up here most days and I’ve never seen this before, It almost looks like a UFO.”
(Rick Moran – PJ Media) In November 2020, a helicopter from the Utah Dept. of Public Safety Aero Bureau was conducting a routine headcount of bighorn sheep in the Red Rock area. A biologist with the team could barely believe his eyes when the copter flew over a metal monolith sticking out of the ground, right in the middle of nowhere.
A few days later, the monolith was removed by four “Moab-based recreationists Andy Lewis, Sylvan Christensen, Homer Manson, and an anonymous companion.” It’s unknown if the four men had a hand in putting the monolith there. Continue reading
“In Christ, there is nothing that we could ever do for our Father to disown us. The acceptance that we receive from the Creator and Sustainer of the universe should overshadow the acceptance that we try to achieve from other people whose opinion does not truly matter….”
(Justin Myko Agpangan – By Grace Alone) We long to be accepted. Sadly, we look for acceptance in the wrong places. Usually, we look for acceptance from our families, our workmates, and our friends…. Continue reading
“No wonder the Secretary of State’s office didn’t release their investigation’s findings to the public. It’s all bogus.”
(Revolver) Atlanta is now rivaling Chicago in the crooked politicians and election-cheating game. What unfolded in the Peach State during the 2020 election was downright shameful. If we were a serious country, genuinely concerned about our Republic, it would have been rigorously investigated by bipartisan officials from top to bottom. Of course, that never happened. Instead, we were told to shut up, stop being “election deniers,” and cease spreading “conspiracy theories,” even though the election resembled a third-world circus…. Continue reading
“Seven years ago, just over half of those surveyed said sex is determined at birth. Now, that number is nearly two-thirds. After all the White House proclamations, all the media talk, all the change in language to “gender neutral” pronouns — after it all, the number of Americans rejecting the foundation of transgenderism has increased.”
(Byron York – Front Page) President Joe Biden has done more to promote transgender ideology than any president, ever. A scroll through the White House archives shows statement after statement, proclamation after proclamation, speech after speech, in which the president praises what he calls the “extraordinary courage and contributions” of transgender Americans. Continue reading
“Why are we so afraid? Like the men of Israel, why are we fleeing from the fight? The Lord does not promise that we will win every battle, but he does promise that we will win the war. The end has already been determined: a small shepherd boy understood this, and so should we.”
(Luke Pierson – The Sentinel) We all know the story of David and Goliath. Even unbelievers know the story. How many times have you heard of a matchup in professional sports labeled as a “David versus Goliath” contest? Continue reading
“U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) recently arrested multiple individuals with suspected ties to ISIS on immigration violations in various cities across the country, including New York, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles, following their entry into the United States through the southwest land border.”
(Katie Pavlich – Townhall) Republican Senators Rand Paul and Lindsey Graham are demanding additional information from Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas after a number of ISIS terrorists illegally crossed the U.S. southern border with Mexico and were arrested in a number of major cities last week…. Continue reading
When Democrats purposely engineer a surge of migrants to overwhelm the border, it becomes impossible to screen everyone properly. They know that criminals, thieves, terrorists, lunatics, and assorted monsters are coming into the country along with the merely opportunistic, and they don’t care. It’s unconscionable and reprehensible. In a sane country, they would be thrown out of power for at least a generation.”
(Athena Thorne – PJ Media) Yes, women have always been at risk from men. In general, when a woman is murdered, it’s a romantic partner to blame. But the Democrats’ imported monsters have been responsible for nightmare scenarios as well: snatching random women who are going about their business off the street, dragging them out of sight, and brutalizing and killing them. Continue reading
(Protestia) The Chosen Director Dallas Jenkins has defended a plot twist in season four of his hit Jesus show, featuring the Savior choosing not to heal the Apostle Thomas’s fiancée after a Roman official straight up murders her in front of them. According to Crosswalk Headlines:
The plot twist occurs at the end of Season 4, Episode 3, when a Roman official, Quintus, grows irate at his inability to capture Jesus in a large crowd and begins swinging a sword. In his anger, Quintus stabs Ramah, the fiancée of the apostle Thomas in the series. Quintus the fleas the scene. Continue reading
“According to Cindy, she was not a “young lady” but rather a CHILD, and the alleged child sexual abuse lasted 4.5 years. This is a not just an instantly and eternally disqualifying sin, but this is a CRIME, and cursed is anyone who helped cover it up.”
(Protestia) Robert Morris is the senior pastor of Gateway Church, the largest church in America, which has more than 100,000 people spread across several campuses. He has been accused of years-long child sexual abuse with a twelve year old girl, according to an article from Wartburg Watch, which has spoken to the alleged victim. Continue reading
“We would like to offer a solution that could bring the deconstructors right back to their senses if they will only accept it. They should put aside their rage, ask God’s forgiveness, and call on the One who purchased and provided redemption for all of us at His own expense….”
(Don and Joy Veinot – Midwest Christian Outreach) In the late 1990s, I was asked by a professor at a local community college to teach a class on Christianity in their Religion 101 course. I agreed and spent nearly an hour explaining the reliability of the Bible, the claims and some of the evidences regarding Jesus, His life, death, and physical resurrection. Of course, it was just an overview….
“An increasingly large share of Americans believe that self-described transgender athletes should not be permitted to compete in sports leagues opposite to their actual sex.”
(Jordan Elliott – The Sentinel) Lia Thomas, a male who claims to be a woman, lost his attempt to challenge rules from World Aquatics banning self-described transgender athletes from competing against the opposite sex.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport remarked in their decision that the controversial former University of Pennsylvania swimmer lacks standing to challenge the World Aquatics policy on transgenderism, which prohibits male swimmers from competing against females. Continue reading
“In a widely shared book review by Tim Challies, he explains most of the major problems with this book, with these two being the most prominent: “1. She speaks for God. Far and away the most troubling aspect of the book is its very premise—that Sarah Young hears from Jesus and then dutifully brings his messages to her readers. Jesus Calling makes the boldest, gutsiest, and, to my mind, most arrogant claim of any book ever to be considered Christian….
(Protestia) This is welcome news! Published in 2004 by the now-deceased Sarah Young, a member of the PCA, Jesus Calling has 45 million copies in print. It is one of the most recognizable devotional books in recent history…. Continue reading
How could such things be? What? You mean people don’t want unchecked Muslim immigration into Europe? Say it ain’t so, Joe! They don’t want their countries’ sovereignty chipped away by a lot of socialist wackos in the World Economic Forum—who despise the plebs and call them “useless eaters”?…
(Lee Duigan – News With Views) Leftists like to present themselves to us as The Smartest Persons In The World. We’re just a lot of racist hicks—no wonder they run rings around us. Continue reading
The Defender reviewed a sample of the “unknown age” child death reports in VAERS. “I have a dead 6 years old in my arms; Vaccine doesn’t work.”
(Michael Nevradakis – Connecticut Centinel) Fetal deaths and miscarriages, sudden cardiac arrest, sudden death and suicides — these are some of the causes of death listed in reports submitted to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) on children who received a COVID-19 vaccine. Continue reading
“These belligerent churches are free to employ female pastors, but they are not considered to be in fellowship with the SBC if they don’t follow the rules, simple as that.”
(Paula Bolyard – PJ Media) The headlines from the left-wing secular media were gleeful and celebratory:
Southern Baptist ban on women pastors fails in historic vote — The Tennesean
Southern Baptist Convention allowing women pastors after vote — KACO
Southern Baptists Fail to Pass Measure Banning Churches Banning Churches With Women Pastors — WSJ
Southern Baptists narrowly reject formal ban on churches with any women pastors — CNN
On and on it went with a parade of disinformation (don’t expect all those ubiquitous fact-checkers to call out the error). Continue reading
(Larry Sand – American Greatness) As the Library of Congress notes, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) Pride Month is celebrated each year in the month of June.
An entire month?! Our mothers, fathers, and soldiers only get a day. And then there is the “pride” angle. I’m not sure who you have intimate relations with should be a source of pride any more than your height, weight, or shoe size should be…. Continue reading
(Protestia) Chuck Parry is the Director of Healing Ministries at Bethel Church in Redding, California, and one of the primary teacher of the schools. According to his bio, his life is “marked by both faith and the miraculous” and he’s “seen the dead raised, food multiplied, storms move out of the way, the supply of heaven released through supernatural finances, and countless people healed and their lives transformed.”
Readers of Protestia will recognize him as overseeing Bethel Church’s healing schools which spent nearly two years shut down during COVID. Continue reading
CRN has compiled a list of professing Christians to keep an eye on. The list contains churches, movements, organizations, groups, pseudo-Christian cults, woke individuals, those who are deconstructing the long held beliefs of historic, orthodox, biblical Christianity and “frauds, phonies and money-grubbing religious quacks”; likewise, heretics, apostates and false teachers you’ll want to mark and avoid as per Romans 16:17-18 which says: I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive.”
Paul warns in Galatians 1:7, “Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ.” People who pervert the gospel will pay dearly. Here’s what false teachers are in for: “If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!” Galatians 1:9
Jude also deals with counterfeit Christians: “They have taken the way of Cain; they have rushed for profit into Balaam’s error; they have been destroyed in Korah’s rebellion.” Jude 11
In Matthew 7:15-20 the Lord Jesus gave His followers fair warning that we would recognize phonies by their fruits: “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus you will recognize them by their fruits.”
“There’s a difference between error and heresy. Heresy is something that strikes at the very heart of the gospel and of the truth.” RC Sproul

Jesus Calling Endorsers
Bud Ahlheim put together a list of several high-profile Christians who’ve endorsed the best-selling book Jesus Calling. The thing that’s most troubling about any Christian who touts Jesus Calling is that doing so indicates a lack of spiritual discernment. The author, Sarah Young, claims that she hears directly from Jesus Christ and “with pen in hand” she wrote down the words of the “Jesus” she channels….and then she shared this nonsense in a book. Tim Challies cautioned: “Jesus Calling makes the boldest, gutsiest, and, to my mind, most arrogant claim of any book ever to be considered Christian.” Here’s Bud’s list – some of these folks may surprise you:

Calling Out False Teachers By Name – Right Response Ministries interviews Justin Peters.
Discernment Made Easy: A List of Celebrity Christians Who Declare The Bible Insufficient — Justin Peters
There is a biblical mandate for calling out false teachers, or “naming names”:
You are aware that all who are in Asia turned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes. 2 Tim 1:15
…holding faith and a good conscience. By rejecting this, some have made shipwreck of their faith, among whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan that they may learn not to blaspheme. 1 Tim 1:19-20
For Demas, in love with this present world, has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia. 2 Tim 4:10
…and their talk will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, 2 Tim 2:17
Forsaking the right way, they have gone astray. They have followed the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved gain from wrongdoing, 2 Peter 2:15
Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting, for whoever greets him takes part in his wicked works. 2 John 9-11
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and the plate, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. You blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and the plate, that the outside also may be clean.
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but within are full of dead people’s bones and all uncleanness. So you also outwardly appear righteous to others, but within you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness. Matthew 23:25-28
A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing – Theological Liberalism: The Classic Collection with R.C. Sproul — We are living in a day when liberal theology has made deep inroads in the church. Many professing Christians and even ordained ministers no longer believe in the authority of Scripture or the resurrection of Jesus Christ. How can people deny these essential doctrines and still call themselves Christians? In this message, Dr. Sproul explains that liberal Christianity is not Christianity at all. It is nothing more than unbelief.
What is Biblical Discernment?
“The latest Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research poll shows that 71% of Gazans support the Hamas atrocities of Oct 7 and 56% expect Hamas to win the war. 62% in Gaza are happy with the performance of Hamas during the war and 59% want Hamas to stay in power.”
(Daniel Greenfield – Front Page) Americans expected Osama bin Laden to be found in a cave in Afghanistan. In reality, he was living comfortably in a military town in Pakistan under the protection of local authorities. Similarly, Israeli hostages, including the four who were last rescued, have come home telling stories of being kept captive in ‘civilian’ households. Continue reading
(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) Hunter Biden was found guilty on three felony charges for illegally buying and possessing a gun while addicted to crack cocaine. Federal law expressly makes it illegal for individuals using illicit drugs to possess firearms. He could face 25 years in prison and fines for the conviction.
The quickness of the jury’s return had most experts predicting a guilty verdict.
The outcome of this trial was hard to predict. Unlike the New York case against Trump, the evidence against Hunter Biden was substantial and incontrovertible…. Continue reading
“The NY Times presented the horror from the Palestinian viewpoint. It was “unimaginable.” Somehow, the fact that Hamas used them as human shields never came up. WaPo talked about the “wall of fire,” and CNN regurgitated the Times article.”
(Mary Dowling) Israel’s IDF rescued four hostages from Hamas control. They were kept in civilian residences. An IDF soldier and dozens of Gazans died during the rescue attempt because Hamas used their people as human shields. That is what happened. Continue reading
(Baptist Press) In a statement posted on the Oak Cliff Bible Church website, church leaders have announced that Senior Pastor Tony Evans has stepped away from his staff role at the church due to falling “short of the high standards of [S]cripture.” Leaders say the “difficult decision” was made with tremendous prayer and after multiple meetings with Evans and church elders.
“The elder board is obligated to govern the church in accordance with the [S]criptures,” said a statement on the church’s website. “Dr. Evans and the elders agree that when any elder or pastor falls short of the high standards of scripture, the elders are responsible for providing accountability and maintaining integrity in the church.” Continue reading
“No one any longer claims that Christopher Steele’s dossier was factual. No one insists that Hunter Biden’s laptop was likely “Russian disinformation”, or that “Anonymous” was a courageous “top-ranking” administration official. All these hysterias, it is tacitly admitted, were cooked-up left-wing canards to emasculate the Trump candidacy and presidency.”
(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) Do not expect the radical left to survey the wreckage of socialism and communism in history and accept that statism impoverishes people and erodes their freedoms. There will never be admissions by our elite that progressivism exists mainly for the acquisition of power by the utopian and virtue-signaling few, who ensure that they are never subject to the baleful implementation of their ideological agendas on the rest of us. Continue reading
“We can criticize Chris Cuomo for his past vaccine bullying, and I have, but we need to appreciate the information he is willing to share now. We can say the same thing about Dr. Redfield.”
(Mary Dowling) As we reported, former CDC Director Robert Redfield dropped shocking news in an interview with Chris Cuomo nearly a week ago that the mainstream media chose to ignore and still barely notice.
This interview with Chris Cuomo is very important. Dr. Robert Redfield spoke about the origins and ongoing impact of COVID-19, including the role of U.S. and Chinese research in the virus’s development…. Continue reading
